Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup medium-fine bulgur or cracked wheat
1 cup fresh lemon juice, plus more to taste
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
Salt
8 scallions (white and green parts), thinly sliced
1 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/2 cup chopped fresh dill
1/3 cup chopped fresh mint
2 English cucumbers, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch dice
Freshly ground black pepper
1 large fennel bulb
1/3 cup toasted pine nuts

Steps:

  • Place the bulgur or cracked wheat in a large salad bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup lemon juice, the olive oil, garlic, and 1 teaspoon salt; drizzle this dressing over the bulgur. Layer on the scallions, parsley, dill, mint, and cucumbers. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper over the top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 24 hours or up to 48 hours.
  • Bring the salad to room temperature.
  • Meanwhile, cut the fennel bulb in half from top to bottom. Cut the halves into paper-thin slices crosswise. Add the fennel and pine nuts to the salad and toss. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste and serve.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover bulgur. It's also a great way to get your veggies in. I love the addition of pine nuts and dill. It gives the salad a nice nutty flavor.
